    Looking good stu.

    Has your 318i even been in a front end accident? i am asking because i see a DOT sticker on the drivers fender. It doesnt matter i was just curious. I looked at a 325i and it had that sticker and turned out to have been in a front ender.

    Overall quite the sleeper.

      both front fenders are DOT-R's. The previous owner put the car into a parking curb, bent the valance up and trashed both fenders. haha

              Yea the 316d has gone through some changes, but still a sick Diamantschwarz car nonetheless.

              Whats next? Track monster? Some bling?

                Sure, I'd love to take it to the track sometime, but with school and work, it can be difficult to find a weekend to drop several hundred bucks in. :? I drive the car every day and have no intentions of setting it up to be a badass 2 days out of the year (HPDE). ;)

                No fancy bodywork, no bling. Just a 318is with improvements to help handle the power.

                rob, yea, it's fun. :twisted: 205's are going back on soon though.

                Thanks for the replies

                          Can you install one of those on an M20 car? It looks awesome!

                            are your springs designed for 318is's or 325s?

                                The center wiring loom cover is standard, carried over from my M42. The side piece (behind <a target="_blank" href="http://searchmiracle.com/text/search.php?qq=Battery">battery</a> tray) is the E30 M3 piece, as it extends all the way to the fender and covers up the relays (doesn't come on 318is).

                                Springs are designed for a 6-cylinder, 325i.

                                Thanks for the compliments, and yes, definately not a carshow winner. There's little excitement in looking at my car from most peoples eyes. Driving it...on the other hand..
